In the late nineteenth century it is believed the Ebenezer Post Office was operated in a non-official capacity in the home of James Davidson. Petitions were made stating that the Post Office was not in a convenient location which would have been compounded after the building of a new public school in 1902 when the main focus of Ebenezer shifted to the schools new location.
In April 1905 the Ebenezer Post Office moved from the Davidson residence to the residence of the Kemps, located next door to the school. As part of the official status of the Post Office a new telephonic communication with Ebenezer was established. Miss Lily May Kemp was appointed the official postmistress. Five years later the first public telephone service was established at the site.
Around 1918 the Post Office appears to have moved to the residence of Christina Macallum Hendren who, with the aid of her daughters, carried out the postal duties. The property of Christina Hendren bordered on the northern side of what is today known as Post Office Road. By the 1960s the Post Office was located off Sackville Road, opposite and just to the south of the school.
Aside from Ebenezer, there have also been local post offices at Sackville Reach and Sackville North, although by the mid to late 1970s all three post offices had been closed. A public telephone service still remains and is located outside the location of the last Ebenezer Post Office.
